Lucian’s POV

Iris looked so scared as she backed away slowly. Her eyes widened that she looked like a little mouse caught stealing or doing something wrong; and that she was.

I watched every single expression that passed through her face. She was all over the place, too scared of me. Strangely, I couldn't explain what I felt now. I should be happy that she was scared of me, after all, I couldn't let her get too close or think I was a bit kind.

She was having a good time, poking my face with the end of a feather and it was obviously an act of revenge. Then she began stuttering that she was sorry. But we both knew she didn't mean it one bit. I said nothing but instead kept my gaze on her which only worsened things on her part.

And I intentionally stood close to her, knowing how much fear it would put in her. Then she began stuttering again, about how she was pissed because I spoke to her like she was a kid.

I see. I thought in my head and felt amused. So this was what all these was a

At least I wouldn't worry much about her.Thoughts of last night flowed in, and I covered my face with my pillow, groaning and kicking my legs up. It was so embarrassing the more I thought of it.

    Iris's POV When she mentioned that she couldn't remember her family, I suggested we take a break and talk about the issue at hand. I was sure it had something to do with the book.“When did you notice that you couldn't remember anything about your family?” I asked.“Let's say…some years after I was sucked into the book. It's like after each day of torture, a part of my memories gets wiped away. But I do know that I have a family. Who they are, I can't seem to remember. Who I was, I don't know.” She punched the neatly trimmed grass frustratingly.“I hate to be a burden to anyone. I followed you, thinking that if I got to the real world, I might remember something but it seemed it only got worse.” She rose up, dusting her trousers.“It isn't your fault, it's not like you did it on purpose. I'm sure your family would be looking for you. We can put up poster or something, then your family can come find you. But until then, you can stay here.” I offered her a smile which she returned.I d

    Lucian’s POVAfter I was done with breakfast, I went to my study. Through my father's portrait, I went through the secret void and down to the secret dungeon. “Milord.” One of the dungeon guards walked towards me, bowing.“Where's the head guard?”“He is inspecting the prisoners. Do you want me to go get him?”“Yes.” Few seconds later, he arrived with the head guard.“Milord.” He bowed.“Get me Raj.” I ordered.He bowed and left while I waited. A moment later, he arrived dragging a chained Raj whose expression turned to the one of fear immediately he saw me.“Let me go! Ahhh, somebody, help me!” He yelled.“Aren't you tired of this Raj? Screaming for help when you know clearly that no one would come to save you. Pathetic.” I said, my teeth clicking.“Guess what Raj? You’d be seeing the sunset today. I'm taking you out, and it's going to be fun.” I flashed him a grin.“Please stop. I think the torture you’ve made me pass through is enough for my crimes. Just kill me already.” He sobb

    The room was filled with guests of different calibres. Everyone had rushed at the chance to finally get a good look at the beast lycan. The thought of it humoured me. I stood in a corner with a champagne glass observing it all. I started to grow weary so I decided to leave the main party for a while. I made my way out of the sprawling mansion and into the gardens. I'd barely moved when I felt a hand grab onto me. I turned around, startled and my eyes locked on his. The man who had caused me so much pain. “Iris, it's you…” His voice voice softer, more tender than I remembered. It my chest ache for some reason. It had been months since I last saw Jacob, the last time I'd set my eyes on him, he'd humiliated me and rejected me as his mate. Seeing him again brought back a rush of old feelings which I thought I'd buried. “Jacob… W-what are you doing here?” “I had to come see you, after I found out your father married you off and to such a beast of a man, I couldn't stop thinking abou

    “I am now Alpha of Moonstone and you shall submit to me” Those were the words my father had dreaded the most when the war began, losing and having to bow to another Alpha. His fear had been manifest. I just prayed my father's pride would not get him killed.He looked around at his pack and at me and my mother, his family before he closed his eyes in resignation and bowed to Alpha Jacob, our new Alpha. “Good. From today henceforth, I relinquish you of your duties as Alpha and I shall take over this pack, uniting it with mine” The members of Alpha Jacob's pack and even some of ours cheered. It was hard to watch the ty I'd grown up in being invaded like that. I couldn't watch anymore, so I left. It was going to be my 18th birthday the next day, and I was still very excited about it.I prayed to the moon goddess day and night that I would finally get my wolf and nobody would tease me or pick on me ever again. And also, I'd be meeting my mate soon. I hoped he would be a wonderful man an

    I cried myself to sleep on that bridge. It wasn't until morning came that I got up and made my way back home. As I passed, I stopped by the Alpha's office. I knew I should've kept going. He didn't want me, and there was nothing I could do to change that, but I felt like I had to try at least one more time.The office door was already opened and I entered. What I saw made my chest boil. Jacob was seated on his chair and there was a girl there straddling him, with her hands locked in his hair. She was the daughter of our old Beta.But why did she have her hands on my mate?! “Jacob!” He saw me in the doorway, and his expression changed. “You know what? I was wrong about you. I shouldn't even have bothered” My voice was weak and cracked from all my crying. I stormed out of the office, and Jacob followed me. “Iris, Iris wait” “No! Because I had this image in my head of who I thought you were but you're the exact opposite. You reject me and you have another woman in your hands a few ho

    I ran like I'd never run before. It didn't matter that I had a small bag of things with me. I was running for my life. Rouges did unspeakable things to other wolves. I didn't want to be a victim. I felt them hot on my tail and I knew they enjoyed hunting me down. “We just want to play… don't run, birdie”, I heard them yell from behind me. I didn't look back; I just kept going, and soon, I made it out of the forest and reached the roads. But it was early in the morning and the roads were deserted. “Nowhere to run”, I heard the dreaded voices of the rogues behind me. I couldn't even shift to escape them because I didn't have a wolf, a reality that hit me harder now when I most needed it.They shifted into their wolf forms, and it was scary to watch their big forms approaching me with blood-red eyes and gnarly teeth. I started to run along the road again, hoping, praying for something to happen as they stalked slowly behind me. Just then, I saw the headlights of a car and it stoppe

The sound of bones cracking filled the place, and my father screeched in pain.“Argggh!” He yelped as he staggered.Mum rushed out of the house with worry in her eyes. She stared in confusion at the scene before her.“You hit my future wife with those hands. Today, I’ll make sure you don't get to use them for a long time.” He said, his voice dripping with malicious intent.I watched as he walked towards my father, noting how long his legs were.“Azariel,” Lucian called out, and I wondered who he was referring to.Someone stepped out of the frontseat of the car; his driver. He gave off an eerie vibe, as a strong aura surrounded him. Half of his face was covered with his hair. He had cold, silvery eyes

    Iris's POV I took a step backwards, as my heart pounded so rapidly that I felt it might burst out of its rib cage. I was done for, his cold, icy blue eyes stared straight at me that I felt he could see my thoughts.What should I do? Should I run? “Yes, run!” A voice whispered.I took another step backwards, gulping. I opened my mouth to say something, but no word came out. Then he slowly stood, and I could see how tall he was. “Damn it.” I muttered as I backed away. Lucian took one step forward, covering all the steps I had taken. Was he trying to show off the fact that he had long legs?The more he got closer, I took a step backwards till my back hit the table. He stood right in front of me, that we were barely an inch apart. I panicked, my heart beat increasing. At this rate, I feared I might have a heart attack.“I’m…I’m sorry. I…I..I didn't mean to do that.” I apologised, my last resort.He said nothing, still staring at me intently and I was tempted to ask if there was someth

    Lucian’s POV After I left Iris’s room, I received the book of illusions from Ivan. It was to be returned to the council for it to be kept holy ground; its rightful place.I walked to the general library, with the intent of seeing Kael. There was more to Iris, and it was slowly becoming more evident. It would be bad if news of her upcoming ability gets to the wrong ears.Not everyone could see Kael, even some of the powerful beings couldn't see him, yet Iris who was wolf-less, saw him. “Show yourself, idiot.” I said, as I hopped onto a table, tilting my head to the side.“You haven't changed, disrespectful brat.” A child’s voice echoed in the library.“You speak a lot for someone so small. Don't forget I could easily stomp on you, and you’d be forgotten, kid.” I smirked.“Don't call me that!” He snapped. “You remind me of a girl I met earlier. She saw me as a kid and spoke to me like I was her little brother or something. Urggh.” He groaned.My lips curled, I knew who he was referrin

    Iris's POV I bit my lips hard, watching him leave the room. Because if I didn't, I might say something that could put me in trouble. And right now, it was best to avoid pissing him off. He just saved me, and a stranger we both didn't know.Lucian spoke like it was my fault that the book dragged me in. He spoke to me like I was some curious kid that touches everything she sees. I was in the library, I picked a book to read without knowing how dangerous it was. Maybe I should have just ignored the book, then all these wouldn't happen. But then, I was grateful that I was alive thanks to him, and I was able to save someone else from a horrible fate.My heart was saddened by the thought of the mister I had met. If the queen of the floweries kept to her words, then the man would be safe. I couldn't believe I just went through such an ordeal, and meeting psychopaths who had twisted ideas of happiness. But according to the mister, it was to break the realm so that they could go to the outsid

    “You’re interesting.” A feminine voice said.I turned to see the queen of the floweries sitting on her throne, decked with numerous flowers.I simply ignored and faced Iris, with the intent to leave with her.“Please let's save them too.” She begged, her eyes filled with worry as she stared back at the tattered man and the young woman.She watched me, waiting for a response but I said nothing.“I’ll take that as a yes.” She mumbled as she rushed to loosen them both.The guards only watched with frowns on their faces, and gritted teeth. The corpse of their subordinates was enough warning to keep away from me.She loosened them before they began whispering something amongst themselves. Then with sad eyes, she held the hands of the young woman and looked back at the man who had an assuring smile on.“Now that you’ve riled them up, how do we leave here alive?” She whispered.“Don't worry, little mouse.” I said, patting her hair and the expression on her face was priceless.“We might be ca

    Lucian's POV I jumped into the hole in the book, ignoring Ariel's scream. The only thing on my mind was seeing Iris safe. After falling for a long time, I landed on flowers. I hadn't been to this realm before, but the seer at the council had been able to peel into what it looked like. A place filled with flowers, trees and colourful butterflies which was the perfect illusion in contrast to what was actually going on here.I looked around, but there was no sign of anybody. The mansion where the prisoners were kept should be nearby. Iris must have been taken by the floweries.I hopped from tree to tree, advancing forward but I found no mansion. There was no route and that made it harder. Everywhere was just covered by silly, annoying flowers that irked me. The place was too bright to my liking.As I hopped on another tree, I felt something pierced me from my back. I reached out for it and pulled it out, it was an arrow. I guess my presence has been noticed.I continued hopping from tr
